Hong Yazi watched the artillery begin preparations, feeling a little hopeful, but also a little helpless.
Hongyazi had also heard before that the Qixia Kingdom chose 120% of its military expenditure. At that time, Hongyazi was a little secretly happy. Even many people in the Xuanzhen Sect felt that the people of the Qixia Kingdom were really stupid!
You must know that in war, collecting spoils of war, etc., are the biggest "war wealth", at least according to common sense in the past.
It's a pity that Hong Yazi felt a little shaken in his heart when he saw the scene in front of him.
If he could ask Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao would tell him: Times have changed, and now arms are the biggest war asset.
In industrialized wars, the proportion of loot is really small. Just like the crazy artillery coverage right now, after an indiscriminate bombardment, there is only a question as to how much loot will be left.
Of course, the current bombing is not bad, there is finally a direction.
Gu Xingdong looked at Hong Yazi from the corner of his eye, feeling a little regretful: If Hong Yazi didn't speak, he was going to bomb indiscriminately, so he wouldn't attack any fixed position on the left front.
After a previous attack, Gu Xingdong figured it out: We are here to show off our power! We are not here to fight! So if possible, we must act like crazy.
Now Gu Xingdong also realized the meaning of Zhang Hao's words. Fighting an industrialized war can actually be understood as: staging an industrialized drama!
In addition, Xuanzhen Sect promised a 120% return, which made Gu Xingdong even more excited. There is no shortage of cannonballs in Qixia Country!
But now that Hong Yazi has come forward and pointed out this problem, Gu Xingdong can no longer act for the time being, and must fight an industrialized war instead of an industrialized drama.
Under Gu Xingdong's hint, the artillery was adjusted to achieve a hit rate of over 90%. Within three minutes of the bombardment, problems began to arise in the northeast of the imperial capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, what Gu Xingdong called the left front:
The defensive barrier is crumbling, the city wall is cracked, the earth is beginning to break, and the foundation of the formation is beginning to loosen!
The whole country of the Southern Tang Dynasty changed color.
And Taoist Master Mingquan, who had just retreated here from the south, once again felt the fear of artillery and the madness of industrialized war.
However, the person who was in charge of the imperial capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty was Taoist Master Guanyun who was in the stage of becoming a god. At this moment, Taoist Master Guanyun roared: "Use magic to reinforce the ground. Quick!
Thick Earth Technique and Mountain Binding Formation can be used in combination!
Use the trapped dragon formation to restrain the concentrated fire attack of the cannonballs!"
The soldiers roared and rushed forward, struggling to reinforce the formation. However, just a few minutes later, the first group of masters withdrew tiredly, and the second group of masters came up to hold their positions.
However, a few minutes later, the third batch came up...the fourth batch...the fifth batch...
Manpower is exhausted, but artillery shells are not exhausted!
Even as the fire continued to focus, the artillery shells became more and more accurate, and the impact points became more and more tricky. The attack no longer showed a "surface shape", but began to show a "point shape".
The concentrated fire is divided into three points. One point attacks the top of the barrier, hindering the energy flow of the barrier. Two points attack the ground, constantly shaking the foundation of the barrier.
As for the rest, it was completely abandoned. In fact, as long as breakthroughs can be made at these three points, part of the defensive barrier of the imperial capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty will collapse.
Taoist Guanyun looked furious, but there was nothing he could do!
If an expert comes to attack, they can use artillery, crossbows, or even spells and traditional crossbow bolts to cover the attack, so that the opponent does not dare to approach.
But this is a cannonball! I have never heard of a cannonball turning because of fear. I have never heard of a cannonball being tired.
Half an hour has passed...an hour has passed...
Hundreds of masters here in the Southern Tang Kingdom were exhausted; the first few people had recovered a lot, but when they saw the continuous stream of shells in the sky, everyone felt an indescribable helplessness in their hearts.
The explosion of a large number of artillery shells caused the formation of dark clouds that covered the sky and completely blocked the evening sun. The smoke was billowing, and there was an indescribable fear and ferocity.
Every salvo of artillery shells and every explosion shook the earth. The barrier became weaker and weaker, trembling like jelly, and might break at any time. Once the barrier broke, the consequences would be disastrous.
But everyone was helpless at this time.
A general said to Taoist Guanyun: "Senior, this must be the opponent's plan. It must exhaust all our masters. Once all our masters are exhausted, the defensive barrier cannot be defended!"
Taoist Master Guanyun looked very ugly. He hated the Kingdom of Qixia, and he also hated Dayang Group and Zhang Hao who stood behind the Kingdom of Qixia!
Taoist Master Guanyun still can't forget that Zhang Hao's words led to the death of Taoist Master Dingshan; many experiences of the Xiaoyao Sect since then were indirectly related to Dayang Group.
It is undeniable that Xiaoyao Sect has also received too many benefits from Dayang Group. But it also has a lot of troubles! Especially now that the rise and strength of Xuanzhen Sect are inextricably linked to Dayang Group!
Let’s just say that the shadow of the current all-out war is 100% caused by the Ocean Group!
The direct cause of this all-out war is the Kingdom of Canglan and the Kingdom of Shaoze; but behind the growth of these two countries is the shadow of Dayang Group!
At this time, the attack was carried out directly by the artillery provided by Dayang Group. Even after the artillery range exceeded thirty kilometers, the artillery shells still had such accuracy and power. For the time being, only Dayang Group had such capabilities.
However, no matter how angry Taoist Guanyun was, it was of no avail.
More than thirty kilometers away, Gu Xingdong was humming a song and commanding the attack leisurely. The artillery shells 'wall' behind him continued to decrease, but trains kept arriving in the distance to replenish the artillery shells.
The Kingdom of the Southern Tang Dynasty also organized an attack, but was pushed back by Huo Shisong's army. Not to mention that the Qixia Kingdom Legion had a large number of small-caliber artillery that had been preparing for war. They really thought that these artillery pieces were just decorations.
But Hong Yazi of Xuanzhen Sect has long been turned into a sculpture: Why can’t I understand the war situation?
I saw that the Kingdom of Southern Tang Dynasty began to take the initiative to attack crazily. Before that, they had been defending leisurely.
On the contrary, Huo Shisong started to defend here before they were attacking like crazy.
The Southern Tang Kingdom attacked with difficulty and suffered heavy losses. The Northern Tang Kingdom defended leisurely and remained motionless!
Only Gu Xingdong commanded the large-caliber artillery fire at the scene, and the ground shook every time. However, Gu Xingdong was very relaxed. This was the most relaxed general Hong Yazi had ever seen.
The crazy bombardment continued until about 20 o'clock in the evening, and continued for more than five hours. Finally, the first shell penetrated the weak defensive barrier and fell into the interior of the imperial capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty. The city walls inside the barrier had long been loose.
, shattered suddenly and turned into a piece of yellow sand. The ground sank directly, and endless yellow sand and dust rose into the sky.
And this is just the beginning!
As the first cannonball fell, it also symbolized that the defensive barrier of the imperial capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty was completely opened. Then more cannonballs fell, and the defensive barrier began to gradually collapse.
However, after three salvos, a gap of more than 300 meters appeared in the defensive barrier. And because the ground here was damaged by the blast, it was impossible to repair it.
The only way is to patch it!
Some experts roared angrily and used additional small formations to seal the gap. But the cannonballs in the sky were still continuous.
Time quietly came to midnight, more than three million shells were fired, and the target area ahead had been bombed hundreds of times. No one dared to go there. Even the later 'patches' were gone.
Gu Xingdong stood on a high place, watched for a while with the help of the light of the artillery, and said with a smile: "The enemy's blood and courage have been exhausted. It's time to attack!"
"Wait a minute!" Huo Shisong said, "It's too dark now, and it's hard for the opponent to detect any ambush. Attack for a while longer and expand the attack range.
After half an hour, when we are sure there are no problems, we launch a general attack!"
"No problem!" Gu Xingdong agreed. After all, all the weapons were ultimately paid for by the Xuanzhen Sect.
This time, small-caliber artillery was also involved. After half an hour, it was finally determined that there was no danger, and the army charged. The masters rushed at the front, and with the extension and cover of the artillery, they rushed to the defensive barrier of the ramp without any hindrance.
nearby.
"The opponent has given up here!" Huo Shisong, who was rushing at the front, said slowly while looking at the situation in front, "They have built a second line of defense behind the barrier. However, it seems that the defense and attack power are not very powerful!"
After Gu Xingdong received the news, without saying a word, he immediately ordered the artillery to slightly increase the elevation angle, and at the same time ordered the artillery to advance in batches to advance the front line.
The war that followed was completely devoid of tactics. Gu Xingdong fully understood what Zhang Hao called industrialized warfare. Needless to say, the result was natural. Under the crazy attack of artillery, the remaining resistance of the Southern Tang Kingdom was finally defeated.
What is the concept of a city being attacked by more than five million artillery shells in half a day? Every inch of land was bombed more than three times.
After daybreak, Hongyazi stood on a bare section of the city wall, looking stupidly at the world in front of him. The world in front of him had become a standard wasteland world!
Everything was razed to the ground. Even the city walls, which were hundreds of feet high and were previously said to be indestructible, have now collapsed in pieces.
However, there were not many casualties among the people, mainly because when the two sides fought, the people hid.
The remaining elite forces of the Southern Tang Kingdom are now running for their lives in a panic, and Huo Shisong has led his army to pursue them.
However, Gu Xingdong led the army of Qixia Kingdom to station here and began... to ransack the homes! Well, he just collected the loot and began to appease the people here.
Because the legions of the Kingdom of Qixia did not need trophies, there was no massacre or looting. They focused more on gathering the wealth of the Southern Tang Kingdom's official, royal family, nobles, etc. As for the wealth of the common people, it was hardly affected.
Waiting until noon, looking at the large amount of loot in front of him that was too late to take away, Hongyazi finally spoke: "You are right, in such a war, our losses seem to be... smaller.
But don’t today’s wars pay attention to military strategy?”
